A friend of mine first introduced me to Siri Mitchell and I think I've read every book by her since then. One day, I'll go back and read all of her earlier books. I am always sucked into her books from the very first paragraph. This book was no exception.
Ellis is a girl that was definitely fun to read about her thoughts and her train of thought. I could see how her parents and teachers, and probably friends, could be exasperated with her. Knowing her thoughts made Griffin Phillips really seem like a prince after all that he overlooked.
I had many favorite scenes, but I loved the lengths she went to in order to avoid Griffin. I laughed out loud at many of her escapes. I did feel bad for her because she felt like everything she did turned out wrong and that she wasn't pleasing anyone.
I can't imagine being thrown into the role of a telephone operator and being expected to know it all with only a few minutes training. That's another part I found funny, as well!
Ellis is one of those girls that would drive me crazy, but that I couldn't help but love. Her thought and attention are so scattered! It was very clear that she had ADHD and no one knew what to do with her! I found the Prohibition part interesting as well... as far as the poor being punished and at the rich being let of the hook.
